3.7 Installing airfloor
Instructions for installing floorboards in Talamex
models with an inflatable floor.
In the back of the boat there are two transom tracks
fixed against the transom. To fix the floor at the
transom, you have to slide the flaps that are attached
at the back of the floor through the track .
If you fully inflate the air deck, it will push itself
underneath the tube and it will stay there tight in its
place.
•
Put the flaps (A) at the after side of the floor in
the transom track (B).
•
Install the thrustboard (C) to the belt on the
underneath of the airfloor.
•
Install the thrustboard (C) at the forward most
point of the port and starboard tubes. The
thrustboard must be placed under the air floor
and on top of the keel (D) on the reinforced spot
that you find on the inside in front of the tubes.
•
Place the deflated air floor D in the bottom of
the inflated boat (DO NOT inflate the keel).
•
Make sure the hole is exactly on top of the keel-
valve.
•
Inflate the inflatable floorboard to approximately
50% air pressure.
•
Push the sides of the floorboard under the tubes
as far as possible.
•
Inflate the air floor to minimum 700 mb,
maximum 825 mb.
•
Inflate the keel.
•
Close the valves by putting the caps on top of it
and turning them to the right.
3.8 Installing slatted floor
Instructions for installing floorboards in Talamex
models with a slatted floor.
The slatted floor of your Talamex boat has already
been installed. You only need to inflate the tubes in
order to prepare your boat.
3.9 Slide drain valve
The Talamex Aqualine, Comfortline, Highline,
Greenline, Superlight and Heavy-Duty series are
equipped with a slide drain valve. When underway,
slide the drain to open position and the water will
automatically run out. The inner membrane will
prevent water from returning. After the water has
been drained, slide the drain to the closed position.
3.10 Drain plug (Alu-Rib models)
The Silverline, S-Line and TLRA Alu-Ribs are
equipped with a drain plug in the transom. The plug
must be installed when the boat is exposed to water.
The hull cavity plug must be regularly removed to
allow collected water to escape from the inner hull
(bilge). For Alu-Ribs which lie in the water for an
extended period of time, an automatic bilge pump is
recommended. The deck drain plug should only be
removed if the boat is operated in forward direction
or if the boat is stored in the davits or on deck
shelves.
